git-check-mailmap - Man Page
Show canonical names and email addresses of contacts
Examples (TL;DR)
- Look up the canonical name associated with an email address:
git check-mailmap "<email@example.com>"
Synopsis
git check-mailmap [<options>] <contact>...
Description
For each “Name <user@host>” or “<user@host>” from the command-line or standard input (when using --stdin), look up the person’s canonical name and email address (see "Mapping Authors" below). If found, print them; otherwise print the input as-is.
Options
- --stdin
Read contacts, one per line, from the standard input after exhausting contacts provided on the command-line.
Output
For each contact, a single line is output, terminated by a newline. If the name is provided or known to the mailmap, “Name <user@host>” is printed; otherwise only “<user@host>” is printed.
Configuration
See mailmap.file and mailmap.blob in git-config(1) for how to specify a custom .mailmap target file or object.
Mapping Authors
See gitmailmap(5).
